Lisko’s American Life

In fact, although Lisko is more resistant to socializing, he has also participated in various parties in China and some of the same type of banquets in the upper class. But compared with the banquet I attended today, there is still a big difference between American banquets and British banquets.

Perhaps it is because of the different social atmosphere and customs of different places, so although some languages ​​and cultures of the two countries are very close, there are still relatively large differences to some extent. Let’s take the banquet as an example. Once the banquet in the United States enters the banquet In the office, almost everyone has their own small circle, and this circle is generally a good partner or a good friend in private.

Although they will try their best to expand their circle of contacts in some banquets, most of the time they gather around and chat quietly, and they will not take the initiative to find any strangers to introduce themselves and ask questions.

But it’s different at the British banquet. Everyone seems to be very friendly and enthusiastic. Before the banquet, if you didn’t know each other at the banquet, after two or three sentences of conversation and self-introduction, you will soon become familiar with them. Ask about the other party's current situation analysis and social anecdotes during this period, and the two will soon become chatting and laughing like good friends who have been dating for many years.

But there is another characteristic, that is, the main points of the American banquet seem to be the next cooperation, try to find other business opportunities through this way of chatting, or you can intervene Places, whether it is banquets or other industries, are mostly full of such businessmen looking for opportunities everywhere.

However, the British Banquet is not so magnanimous in this matter. Instead, it is doing the same thing in a very reserved state. People basically don't talk about their business during the chat, or they want to Most of the cooperations I seek are only carried out with the intention of making friends. Even if there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future, they will promote this cooperation through private or after leaving the banquet. Some people began to directly discuss the details of some cooperation.

Through Lisko's comparison, it can be summed up in two sentences, that is, American banquets are treated with the mentality of looking for opportunities, and the topics of discussion are always inseparable from various business opportunities And wealth, but at the British banquet, everyone seems to be really exchanging their personalities and the experiences they have encountered during this period. There is very little talk about wealth and business.

It may be because the history of the United States is not so long, and the social atmosphere is relatively heavy on wealth. Although the United Kingdom has gradually become a bit lonely, it is also proud of its own country and history. Will put some discussion of wealth directly on the table so nakedly.

After strolling around, there was not much wine in front of Lisko, because every time he clinked glasses with others, he simply moistened his lips, instead of gulping down the wine in disregard of his demeanor. When it comes to this kind of public banquet, he has always been very restrained. If it is really a private gathering with his good friends, he may not be so reserved.

In fact, the reason why Lisko is so restrained is that when he came to the UK this time, he also shouldered corresponding responsibilities, because the integration of the Hollywood Media Group is almost done, and now it is slowly developing outward. Therefore, Lisko also shoulders certain tasks and goals. When he comes to the UK, he will take a good look at the local film and television industry market to seek opportunities, and see if he can properly acquire some shares of British local theaters. Achieve the current global theater plan of Hollywood Media Group.

The plan for this global theater chain has actually been proposed for a long time. When the New Media Group was just established, it had similar ambitions, but it was limited by its strength and the newly established company group, so temporarily It didn't really implement this plan, but just integrated the theaters in the United States, and first completed the corresponding division of screen share within the local target.

Li Sko, who traveled from his previous life, knows very well what is the most important step in the development of the film and television industry. The slogan that theaters are king in the 21st century is not for nothing. It just belongs to the downstream personnel in this industry. Those who really stand at the top of the pyramid are those producers, distribution companies and theater companies. Yes, because whether a film loses money or makes money, it must share about half of the profits with the corresponding theater company.

In addition, the peripheral sales department built around the theater chain and some snack sales departments inside the theater can also bring a steady stream of income to the entire theater company, and can even provide the theater company with a steady stream of cash flow. In this era, there is a cash flow that can be called at any time, which is very beneficial to the development of the industry.

In the current New Media Group, the plan for the acquisition of theaters has now begun to enter the implementation stage. Domestic mainland companies continue to expand theaters, and the company's share in the entire Asia is as high as possible. The regions of South America and North America are in charge of Lu Guo of the Hollywood Group. For the time being, there is no standard that can be implemented for such a share in Europe. Lisko’s trip to the UK this time is just a good time to inspect the local situation and learn more about it. If the funds needed to acquire theaters wait until the strategy of several other places ends, then concentrate all the strength of the entire company to jointly solve the big problem in Europe.

Compared with the acquisition plans of theater chains in other countries, Europe is indeed very difficult. First, because the countries in Europe are very closely distributed, and the composition of theater chains has become very complicated. Because of local plans and some forces Due to the influence of outsiders entering this market rashly, they will naturally be repelled immediately.

This kind of situation will not happen in the United States, because the United States is a complete commercial market. What outsiders have to consider when entering the US market is whether their acquisition plan will be profitable and how much they will need to pay. Resistance, because in the eyes of Americans, this kind of move is completely out of business. The reason is that there is no real idea of ​​controlling the livelihood of a nation.
